YOUR USE OF THE INTERNATIONAL REFINing survey may be aided by the following information:
All country-by-country volumes are presented in calendar-day figures. An asterisk (*) beside a location indicates that the figure was reported as a stream-day figure and has been converted to a calendar-day figure with the conversion factor 0.95 for crude oil and 0.90 for cat cracking and cat reforming units.
Barrels per calendar day (b/cd) is the maximum number of barrels of input that can be processed during a 24-hour period, after making allowances for the following:
- Types and grades of inputs to be processed.
- Types and grades of products to be manufactured.
- Environmental constraints associated with refinery operations.
- Scheduled downtime such as mechanical problems, repairs and slowdowns.
Barrels per stream day (b/sd) is the amount a unit can process when running at full capacity under optimal feedstock and product slate conditions.
LEGEND
Catalytic cracking
1. Fluid
2. Other
Catalytic reforming
1. Semiregenerative
2. Cyclic
3. Continuous regeneration
4. Other
Cat reforming definitions are:
- Semiregenerative reforming is characterized by shutdown of the reforming unit at specified intervals, or at the operator`s convenience, for in situ catalyst regeneration.
- Cyclic regeneration reforming is characterized by continuous or continual regeneration of catalyst in situ in any one of several reactors that can be isolated from and returned to the reforming operation. This is accomplished without changing feed rate or octane.
- Continuous regeneration reforming is characterized by the continuous regeneration of part of the catalyst in a special regenerator, followed by continuous addition of this regenerated catalyst to the reactor.
- Other includes nonregenerative reforming (catalyst is replaced by fresh catalyst) and moving-bed catalyst systems.
